If this downgrading of libs works, please advise how to do it, or point

upgrading/updating.

# Commands you should execute

# install sane-utils if not installed
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sane-utils

# Get libsane
# http://packages.debian.org/sarge/libsane
# Get the i386 or amd64 depending your architecture
# (Or get it from Ubuntu repository, note the md5sum difference!)

# check the md5sum
# Use your eyeballs for checking this will only produce numbers!

md5sum libsane_1.0.15-9_i386.deb

# should be 4fc2ea8b7f5dbcc44d46ab72916356e4
# if not download again

# install the package
# you will get some warning for downgradeing the package
sudo dpkg -i libsane_1.0.15-9_i386.deb

# Set the package to hold so it won't be upgaden in the next upgrade
# This will stick the package

sudo echo "libsane hold" | dpkg --set-selections

# To release it use
# sudo echo "libsane install" | dpkg --set-selections

# And finalize install by
sudo echo -e '\n\nHappy Scanning rpaco!\n\n'
